Now having so strongly proved the unlawfulness and Idolatry of kneeling in the act of receiving the holy Communion, let me add, Sect. 25 corolarij loco, that the reader needs not to be moved with that which B. Lindsey in the tail of his dispute about the head of kneeling, offers at a dead lift, namely, the testimonies of some modern Doctors. For 1. What can humane testimony avail against such clear truth? 2. We have moe testimonies of Divines against kneeling, then he hath for it. And here, I perceive bDr. Morton fearing we should come to good speed this way would hold in our travel. We are not ignorant, saith he, that many Protestant Authors are most frequent in condemning the gesture of Kneeling, at the receiving of the holy Communion.

3. Testimonies against kneeling are gathered out of those very same Divines whom the B. allegeth for it. cFor Didoclavius hath clear testimonies against it, out of Calvin, Beza, and Martyr, whom yet the B. taketh to be for it.
